After all the talk about Natural Born Killers the past couple of weeks I realised that nobody has brought up the French Release... Is the French version of Natural Born Killers the Theatrical Release or the Director's Cut?:confused:

After seeing it for the first time on Film Four last night I would like to know where to get Oliver Stone's cut for a R2 only player...

Any help is appriciated... Matt

You could try this company in Denmark. About £8.25 delivered. :D

Natural Born Killers DC (R2) from Dvdoo.dk (http://www.dvdoo.com/dvdoo/film.asp?Command=4299)

...frankly, I have no idea whether the French disc is the DC or the theatrical cut... taking into account the PAL speed-up, the French DVD features the same cut as the original R1 TRIMARK release, except the former is supposedly a better transfer...

:D Slow on the draw...

Warner distribute it in France so it'll be the original cut (ie R version).

The good news is Denmark have the Director Cut. You can get it for less than £9 delivered from www.dvdoo.com

You'll find a review here (http://www.movieboxen.dk/VisDVD.asp?ID=19) It's anamorphic and looks pretty impressive.

Does this have the Oliver Stone commentary?

slettede scener med kommentarer, bag-om program, trailer, kommentatorspor

Take a wild guess.

...ahh... you forgot to mention Alternativ slutning... !

. . . :D . . .

...oh, and, although it may not apply to this particular DVD, I have been warned that some made-specifically-for-the-Scandinavian-market DVDs (such as this one) have non-removable (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish) subtitles... what this means is that, when a Dane starts the record, he would select Danish subs, a Norwegian would select Norwegian subs, and so on, BUT... none of them could watch the movie without subs in one of those languages... strange, not to say perverse... but - apparently - true... again, however, this may not be true of the NBK disc...

I think the disc has removable (unlocked) subs as I recall someone here buying it.

The subtitles are optional. Can't remember if they default to on when first played, but they can definitely be turned off.
